"Regarding climate, all countries are expected to submit updated national action plans by next year, aligning with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. These plans should outline specific strategies to decrease fossil fuel production and consumption by at least 30 percent by 2030.

I am confident that Kazakhstan will actively contribute to the energy transition, including at the upcoming Conference of the Parties in Azerbaijan this year," Guterres emphasized.

This November, Azerbaijan will host COP29. This decision was made at the COP28 plenary meeting held in Dubai on December 11 last year. Baku will become the center of the world and will receive about 70–80,000 foreign guests.
